DUP Cross Border, Embrace Island Politics To Save The Boyne

DUP MLA Jim Wells has joined with local residents in Meath to lobby the Irish government in opposition to proposals which would see an Incinerator sited near to the scene of the Battle of the Boyne. This would appear to be the first time DUP representatives have involved themselves in domestic politics of the southern state.Taken together with the news that Sinn Fein are pressing the Dept. of Culture, Arts and Leisure in the North to purchase an original copy of the Irish National Anthem, could there be grounds for a united front from the two parties over these matters of historical and cultural importance to both communities in the north?
